Aztec
A privacy-first L2 on Ethereum that has a hybrid privacy model - it allows private execution and private state as well as public execution & state. Aztec also enables private interactions with Ethereum. It uses zero-knowledge proofs that are generated locally on the user's machine to prove a legal transaction. Private state is encrypted and stored in a UTXO tree.

- LLiberdusLiberdus is a decentralized messaging network implemented as a layer-one blockchain, designed to provide secure, censorship-resistant digital communication without reliance on centralized servers or trusted intermediaries. Rather than treating messages as off-chain data managed by application providers, Liberdus models messages as cryptographically secured transactions that are validated and recorded by a decentralized network of nodes. This approach allows message delivery, access control, and spam resistance to be enforced through protocol rules and consensus rather than platform moderation. The network combines cryptographic security, economic mechanisms, and decentralized governance to create a communication system where privacy, availability, and rule enforcement are determined by transparent protocol logic rather than centralized infrastructure operators.OMEsocial-and-communicationsmessaginginfrastructurewalletsdaocurrencybridgedappsnode

- PPrivoteCreate polls, participate in elections, and make your voice heard in a Private and Decentralized way. Privote is a decentralized voting mechanism that allows users to vote on-chain in a private and secure manner. It uses Maci protocol made by PSE team to ensure that votes don't leak and are not tampered with. The project is open-source and anyone can contribute to it. Privote enables users to create various types of private polls and vote on them. It also provides various types of auth mechanisms like Anon-Aadhar (aadhar based verification from India), WorldCoin-auth, NFC (can be used in IRL events like ethglobal hackathons), etc, enabling holding of various interesting polls without revealing the choice of voters.

- SSecureSecure is a fully serverless, privacy-first messaging platform built on Tor hidden services, designed for true peer-to-peer communication with zero centralized infrastructure. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Secure does not rely on servers, relays, or push notification systems. Messages are transmitted directly between devices over the Tor network, eliminating third-party intermediaries and significantly reducing metadata exposure. There are no phone numbers, emails, or accounts required—identity is created and stored locally on the user’s device. The platform leverages advanced cryptography, including post-quantum hybrid key exchange and forward secrecy, ensuring long-term protection against both current and future threats. All data is encrypted at rest, and communication is end-to-end encrypted by default. Key features include: Serverless P2P messaging over Tor hidden services No accounts, phone numbers, or email required Post-quantum encryption with forward secrecy Private group messaging with no central coordination layer Metadata-minimizing architecture by design Cross-platform support (iOS and Android) Secure local storage with encrypted database Secure Pay (multi-chain): Send and receive cryptocurrency across multiple blockchains directly within the app, with privacy-first design and no custodial control Secure is built for users who demand maximum privacy, censorship resistance, and control over their data. By removing centralized points of failure and operating entirely over Tor, Secure provides a communication layer that cannot be easily surveilled, blocked, or shut down.Mapplicationssocial-and-communicationsstoragevpnwalletsmessaging
